This clone was engineered to express the complete ORF with an expression tag. Expression varies depending on the nature of the gene.

OTI Disclaimer:

The molecular sequence of this clone aligns with the gene accession number as a point of reference only. However, individual transcript sequences of the same gene can differ through naturally occurring variations (e.g. polymorphisms), each with its own valid existence. This clone is substantially in agreement with the reference, but a complete review of all prevailing variants is recommended prior to use. More info

The Reference Sequence (RefSeq) collection provides a comprehensive, integrated, non-redundant set of sequences. This database is built by NCBI, and, provides only a single record for each gene/transcript. More details.
Due to SNPs, each gene/transcript has many variations in the sequence; those variations are naturally occurring. Therefore, Refseq is one curated sequence, not to be perceived as the wild type.

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily, and is a key regulator of xenobiotic and endobiotic metabolism. The protein binds to DNA as a monomer or a heterodimer with the retinoid X receptor and regulates the transcription of target genes involved in drug metabolism and bilirubin clearance, such as cytochrome P450 family members. Unlike most nuclear receptors, this transcriptional regulator is constitutively active in the absence of ligand but is regulated by both agonists and inverse agonists. Ligand binding results in translocation of this protein to the nucleus, where it activates or represses target gene transcription. These ligands include bilirubin, a variety of foreign compounds, steroid hormones, and prescription drugs. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
